Compiler Support to Customize the Mark and Sweep Algorithm
Mark and sweep garbage collectors (GC) are classical but still very efficient automatic memory management systems. Although challenged by other kinds of systems, such as copying c...

Real-Time Garbage Collection in Multi-Threaded Systems on a Single Processor
We show the difficulties that arise for the implementation of a real-time garbage collector in a multi-threaded system. A mechanism for synchronization between threads and the gar...

Constant-Time Root Scanning for Deterministic Garbage Collection
Root scanning is the task of identifying references to heap objects that are stored outside of the heap itself, in global and local variables and on the execution stack. Root scann...

A typed interface for garbage collection
An important consideration for certified code systems is the interaction of the untrusted program with the runtime system, most notably the garbage collector. Most certified cod...

Garbage collection for embedded systems
Security concerns on embedded devices like cellular phones make Java an extremely attractive technology for providing third-party and user-downloadable functionality. However, gar...

A Fast Analysis for Thread-Local Garbage Collection with Dynamic Class Loading
Long-running, heavily multi-threaded, Java server applications make stringent demands of garbage collector (GC) performance. Synchronisation of all application threads before garb...

Run-Time Support for Optimizations Based on Escape Analysis
The JavaTM programming language does not allow the programmer to influence memory management. An object is usually allocated on the heap and deallocated by the garbage collector ...

Replicating real-time garbage collector for Java
Real-time Java is becoming a viable platform for real-time applications, bringing new challenges to a garbage collector. A real-time collector has to be incremental as not to caus...

Type-preserving garbage collectors
By combining existing type systems with standard typebased compilation techniques, we describe how to write strongly typed programs that include a function that acts as a tracing ...
